What travelers actually mean when they ask this
Most people see EWR on a boarding pass, itinerary, or luggage tag and want to confirm it’s the Newark airport (not JFK, not LaGuardia).
Chauffeur’s Pro Tip
If you’re coordinating pickup or a corporate transfer, ask for terminal + airline + whether they’re arriving domestic or international. At EWR, that combo predicts where the passenger will exit and how long the “walk to curb” really takes on that day.
